I've had a need to recently do just that. I just create a GeoJSON object and pass those values into an OpenLayers.Layer.Vector I've got an example that you can view here:<br><br><a href="http://mkgeomatics.com/apps/ajax_dev/checkbox_form.html">http://mkgeomatics.com/apps/ajax_dev/checkbox_form.html</a><br>
<br>Here is an example output of a PHP script generating geoJSON from a MySQL Database<br><br><a href="http://mkgeomatics.com/apps/ajax_dev/gis/scripts/airports.php">http://mkgeomatics.com/apps/ajax_dev/gis/scripts/airports.php</a><br>

You just need to get the data in a format reconizable to openlayers, and<br>
then insert it.<br>
There are many combinations of ways to do this.<br>
For one of my apps I fetch wkt and use openlayers wtk parser to convert<br>
those into features<br>
and then its as simple as layer.addFeatures(myFeatures)<br>

Subject: [OpenLayers-Users] Just a simple php script instead of WFS<br>
server ?<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
I have an openlayers loading a GeoJson file locally (=on client side).<br>
This file is heavy and I want to avoid to load it locally.<br>
<br>
The perfect solution would probably be a WFS server to serve my features<br>
but I would prefer a lighter and easier solution (I am lost in tool like<br>
Geoserver and just get the feeling that it is too big for me and my<br>
usage).<br>
<br>
Is there not a way to build a small php script to serve my features from<br>
the GeoJson or GML and read in Openlayers through<br>
OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP ?<br>
Such php script, on server side, should implement the maxfeatures and/or<br>
bbox query in order to load just the needed features.<br>
<br>
Does such php script (or very very very simple WFS server) exist?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
